The Delta State Government Should Take A Second Look At Project Being Executed In The State: A Call For Quality And Safety Standards




In recent years, Delta State has witnessed a surge in infrastructural development, with numerous projects aimed at improving the quality of life for its residents. However, the Organization for Human and People's Rights Protection and Humanitarian (OHPRPH) has raised significant concerns regarding the quality , safety and durability of these projects as it affects to the residents.

As the state Government ( managed by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori ) , continues to invest in road construction, drainage systems, bridges, and other essential infrastructure, a second look should be given and steps must be taken to ensure that these projects meet the highest standards of quality , safety and durability.

Contracts should be awarded to companies with long track records of competence and not to every politician , children of politicians or their hoax companies.

It is observed that most of the projects being executed are endangering public safety, and the Organisation for Human and People's Rights Protection and Humanitarian ( OHPRPH) is urging the state Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, to address the issues of poor quality and substandard jobs.

We are monitoring how N275 billion worth of projects approved for the people of Delta State are being appropriated for the execution of these projects , across the three senatorial districts to ensure that they are properly done.

The contractirs handling these jobs are not displaying the Projects Sign Boards indicating names of their companies ,the client , etc  at the site. Nothing indicates who is handling what job, the scope of jobs and the phone numbers of the companies.

Deltans have rights to know what has been done with their monies and how it is done.
